As a Slovenian language teacher with 20 years of experience, I will guide you through the fifth unit of the Complete 0 to A1 Slovenian course. This unit is focused on intermediate grammar and communication, specifically on the conditional and future tense in Slovenian. By the end of this lesson, you will be able to use these tenses in everyday conversation with ease.
== Introduction to Future Tense ==
 
The '''future tense''' in Slovenian is used to describe actions that will take place after the present moment. It is formed using the auxiliary verb "biti" (to be) in the future tense, combined with the past participle of the main verb.


=== The Conditional Tense ===
=== Formation of the Future Tense ===
The conditional tense expresses a hypothetical or imaginary situation in the present or future. It is formed by combining the particle "bi" with the past participle of the verb.


Here's how to form the conditional tense in Slovenian:
To form the future tense, you generally follow this structure:
 
* '''Future tense of "biti"''' + '''past participle of the verb'''
 
Here’s a breakdown of the conjugation of "biti" in the future tense:


{| class="wikitable"
{| class="wikitable"
! Pronoun !! Future Tense of "biti" !! Example Verb: "delati" (to work)
|-
| I (jaz) || bom || bom delal (I will work)
|-
| You (ti) || boš || boš delal (You will work)
|-
| He/She/It (on/ona/ono) || bo || bo delal (He/She/It will work)
|-
| We (mi) || bomo || bomo delali (We will work)
|-
| You (plural/formal) (vi) || boste || boste delali (You will work)
|-
| They (oni/one) || bodo || bodo delali (They will work)
|}
=== Examples of Future Tense ===
Let's take a look at some examples of sentences in the future tense:
{| class="wikitable"
! Slovenian !! Pronunciation !! English
! Slovenian !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
|-
| bi + past participle  || bee + past participle || would + past participle
 
| Jutri bom šel v trgovino. || 'juːtri bɔm ʃel v trəɡɔːvino || Tomorrow I will go to the store.
 
|-
 
| Kmalu bomo imeli počitnice. || 'kmaːlu bɔmɔ iːmɛli pɔʧitnit͡sɛ || Soon we will have vacation.
 
|-
 
| Ona bo brala knjigo. || 'ɔna bɔ 'brala 'kɲiɡɔ || She will read a book.
 
|-
 
| Mi bomo jedli pico. || mi bɔmɔ 'jɛdli 'pit͡so || We will eat pizza.
 
|-
 
| Ti boš povedal resnico. || ti bɔʃ pɔ'ʋɛdal rɛs'nitso || You will tell the truth.
 
|-
 
| Oni bodo prišli ob desetih. || 'ɔni bɔdɔ 'priʃli ɔb dɛ'sɛtix || They will come at ten o'clock.
 
|}
|}


For example:
== Introduction to Conditional Tense ==
* Če bi imel/-a čas, bi šel/-a ven. (If I had time, I would go out.)
 
* Če bi me povabila/-l, bi prišel/-a. (If you invited me, I would come.)
The '''conditional tense''' expresses what one would do under certain circumstances. It's particularly useful for polite suggestions or hypothetical scenarios.
 
=== Formation of the Conditional Tense ===
 
To form the conditional tense in Slovenian, you typically use the past tense of the verb and express it with the appropriate endings.
 
Here’s how to conjugate the verb "delati" (to work) in the conditional tense:
 
{| class="wikitable"
 
! Pronoun !! Conditional Form
 
|-
 
| I (jaz) || bi delal (I would work)
 
|-
 
| You (ti) || bi delal (You would work)
 
|-
 
| He/She/It (on/ona/ono) || bi delal (He/She/It would work)
 
|-
 
| We (mi) || bi delali (We would work)


When using the conditional tense, make sure to use the correct form of the past participle based on the gender and number of the subject.
|-


Here are some additional examples:
| You (plural/formal) (vi) || bi delali (You would work)


* Če bi imela/mela časa, bi šla ven. (If I had time, I would go out.)
|-
* Če bi imel/-a denarja, bi kupil/-a novo obleko. (If I had money, I would buy a new dress.)
* Če bi vedela/-l, bi rekla/-l. (If I knew, I would say.)


=== The Future Tense ===
| They (oni/one) || bi delali (They would work)
The future tense describes an action that will happen in the future. It is formed by adding the appropriate ending to the verb stem.
